Kings are a dirtyyyyyyyy team. I know it’s almost impossible to repeat Cups, but I think the Kings are still the best team in the West over the Hawks. Quick is no *#$%@& joke. Very significant player to the King’s success. Hope he does as well for team USA. Howard stole a lot of games for the Wings this year. That Flames game was strange, but I couldn’t be happier with his play this year. However, Quick is a *#$%@&-A grade A keeper.

Also, I’m young enough yet unfortunately have bad back pain from hockey injuries. Anyone with lower back problems knows how troublesome/annoying this can be. Not sure if anyone else heard him mention it, but I remember Quick telling a reporter last year that if kids want to emulate his style, they’d better expect frequent trips to chiropractors/PTs. Maybe it’s just because I have back problems and I didn’t play keeper, but I have no idea how Quick plays the way he does. He looks different than any goalie I’ve ever seen. Definitely deserved the Conn Smythe, he was very exciting to watch this year and last.

I’ll still take Howie though…so until the Olympics, *#$%@& you Quick. You’re now like Goldberg and couldn’t stop a puck unless it was a cheeseburger.
